Drafted by the Phillies in the first round of the 2007 Draft and signed with a $1.4M gift basket, Joe Savery finally started to show the talent that merited that bonus in 2011. He didn't play all that much, so the sample size is small, but he did take the mound for four different organization teams, including the major league club (three innings, one hit). A starter who many scouts prefer as a late-inning specialist, his 2012 role is still uncertain, and the Phils might very well want to see if he can nail his progress down over a longer period of time before committing too much more to his short-term future. That said, the team doesn't have a plethora of LOOGY options, especially if the flier the team took on Dontrelle Willis doesn't pan out.
